HELLDIVERS™ 2

There's nothing wrong with the gameplay. It's exactly what you all have seen on any social platforms with goofy ragdolls, satire on imperialism and fascism, doing quests while shooting aliens/bugs/machines and rinse and repeat. The problem is on the monetization. This game is a live service game which means there are paid contents after paying for the game. While it "seems" like you don't really need to pay actual more money than the base game as the Super Credit (Premium in-game currency) can technically be found in the game, it's how imbalance each warbonds (basically a seasonal pass) are, especially the newest one always too damn OPs (either by itself or devs just rebalance stuffs to make it OP) to attract players to pay for it ("meta" as they called these days) while nerfed the previous one to shred. "Wait. Didn't you say we can "grind" for Super Credit without having to pay any cents?" I mean look at my hour count, 120 hrs. That's what it took for like 3 warbonds and they have like 10s of them and even some are "Legendary Warbonds" which will cost you 50% more (from 1k to 1.5k) which luckily I didn't care much about them so I just picked those which are recommended by communities and pretty much suits against any opponents (Democratic Detonation, Servants of Freedom, Dust Devils). And that's what 120hrs gave you. 3 freaking Warbonds that can be skipped for just paying roughly $25-$30. That's what devs want you to do so, just paying them more money instead of grinding. It's getting ridiculous as times went by the chances of getting 100 super credit is becoming like a urban legend now (usually you'll get around 10) instead of like once in 3-4 maps. I only found one in 120hrs of gameplay. So yeah. It's a good game with great lore and immersions. Communities used to be solid in hyping people to come back and do goofy, laughable stuffs together. But now it's just a shell of former self. Player count is still consistent at 30-40k but I can tell you that unless you're playing during big events it's mostly just people logging in to grind so sometimes you won't get the helps during call for SOS. Just pick it up during sales. 50%, 60%, shady keys, I don't care. Just don't buy it at full prize. They don't deserve it.
